Asbestos Surveys

 This type of survey is required under the Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015 and is fully intrusive and can be targeted to specific areas which will or may be affected by refurbishment works.The scope of the survey must clearly identify areas that are included and just as importantly what areas are not included, this is vitally important for any contractors engaged to undertake the refurbishment works.  There will most likely  be a large number of openings/inspection points throughout the site which will require making good if the project is not planned to start immediately after completion of the survey.

This type of survey is also fully intrusive and is designed to identify without ambiguity all present asbestos materials within all elements of the buildings construction as far as reasonably practicable.

 The survey should be undertaken in an unoccupied buildings with no intention of being reoccupied.

 The survey is intrusive and will most certainly result in severe damage to the fabric of the building including in some cases opening up structural elements where the presence of asbestos is suspected. 

If you are looking to have a suspected Asbestos product tested but do not require a full survey report we can attend the property to take a sample of the suspected asbestos or and issue a Bulk Sample analysis certificate along with a sample report.

 Ideal for possible missed items on previous survey reports or any suspected asbestos materials found during maintenance or any refurbishment work.

Re-inspection surveys are carried out typically on an annual basis but may have to be undertaken on a quarterly or six monthly basis for high risk products.

 This type of survey is undertaken to ensure the condition of any known asbestos materials are at a satisfactory and safe condition.

Once an Asbestos Management Survey or Asbestos Refurbishment / Demolition Survey has been carried out an Asbestos Report will be produced including.

 Asbestos Register: An individual section detailing each Asbestos sample

 Asbestos Management Plan: Legislative compliant algorithm which is used to score each asbestos product and how to best manage them.

  Sample locations: Detailed images and description of any sampled materials.

 Room photos and construction details: A picture of any room or location inspected and also the building materials present in that area 

 Recommended remedial action: A detailed description on how to manage Asbestos materials or in severe cases, if they need to be removed to safeguard the occupants.
